Clothing can be a powerful way to affirm your gender as a crossdresser or transgender woman.
While there are guidelines for achieving a fashionable and feminine look, this doesn’t mean you should be a slave to the “rules.”
Many so-called fashion rules are outdated or just plain wrong!
Are you following these 5 male to female fashion rules? If so, it might be time to break them!
Rule #1: Dress As Feminine As Possible
Nobody pulls off the feminine look quite like transgender celeb, Gigi Gorgeous. But that doesn’t mean everybody needs to dress this way!
The beauty of fashion is that you can express yourself however you want.
Whether your style is tomboyish, androgynous, or ultra feminine, anything goes. So, enjoy your individuality and dress however you want!
Rule #2: Don’t Go Without Shapewear
Shaping your body with breast forms, a corset, and hip pads can create a stunning hourglass silhouette.
When you want to feel like a bombshell, shapewear is a girl’s best friend!
But remember, you don’t have to wear all these pieces every time you dress up. Comfort should be your priority.
Wear what makes you feel fantastic, and don’t hesitate to skip the rest.
Rule #3: Always Wear High Heels
While high heels are undoubtedly sexy and feminine, there’s no rule that says you must wear them all the time.
Flats can be equally alluring if you want to be comfy, or if you’re on the tall side and don’t want to accentuate your height.
Love the look of heels but don’t want to go all out? A kitten heel (1″-2″ tall) looks elegant and can help feminize your walk – without the pain of stilettos.
Rule #4: Dress Like The Women In Your Area
I often talk about how helpful it is to observe cisgender (genetic) women. If your goal is to blend in, it’s a good idea to adhere to the style norms in your area.
However, you might have noticed that many women dress sloppily or put little effort into their appearances. If that’s not your style, don’t feel obliged to follow suit.
Look as fabulous as you want… and maybe they will start to follow your lead!
Rule #5: You Must Always Match
There are so many choices in women’s clothing that putting outfits together can be daunting.
While you should always look coordinated, forget about old fashioned rules that say you must match from head to toe. Not only is this boring, it tends to look costumey and dated.

Oh shucks, I just gotta share an experience related to rule 2. I was in the lingerie section at a major department store, replacing my pantyhose after a meltdown, and an older woman was so overjoyed with her decision to no longer wear a girdle, that she was enthusiastically sharing her joy with all of us nearby. It was just so amazing to see her happiness, after years of shape tyranny!
Good post. I like rules 4 and 5. Re rule 4, the women and girls in my area wear such a variety for all occasions, that I can pick what to emulate, except, as stated, the really apathetic dressers. Even so, it’s fun to be kinda sloppy sometimes, when appropriate (honest, sometimes it is!).
(I’m not really replying to my own post; my keyboard decided to SEND all by itself, so now I’m finishing.)
Rule 5. Every now and then I try to be a little matchy-matchy, and folks seem to like it. But yes to it being overdoable. It’s way more fun to coordinate, and that seems to be appreciated by my public. But, y’know, sometimes it’s effective to clash, judiciously, of course. Isn’t dressing FUN? WOW!
Totally agree, same rules can’t apply for different people, t-girls like to show their own personality and loves to try different styles.
Very pretty! Love the dress and the flower print too. Great hairstyle.
You look fabulous, Diana!
I am primarily a jeans or shorts girl….
This year in November will be 10-th Anniversary I’m here. And Lucille presented me womanhood. I finally realized who I am and that I was born a girl in pschycosomatical gender oposite to physiological gender. From early childhood I felt that something wrong with me. And was waiting my mother leaving the house to try her dresses, skirts and blouses. It was tel Paradise! Lucille has discovered to me the Wonderworld of Feminization as a system without any forces. Her beautiful programs which I purchased more than 5, really helped me to feel myself confidently as a woman in the world. Lucille has opened for me the best in the world voice feminization techer Katy Perez. And now my voice is absolutelly female. In 2012 I finally have finished with the rest part of maleness and has burnt all my male clothes and shoes near my house as anathema. And from this July day I’m day and night only in female clothes and shoes. Two women live in me. The powerful business lady who has her own firm and a submissive to dominant women girl who loves to wear maid dresses and appron and to fulfill all maid’s daily routine. In clothes I prepare dresses and have more than 150 now. I collect dresses as somebody can collect guns or stamps. Including very expensive dresses of handwork of English and French taylors. A woman, cisgender or MTF must wear skirts or dresses longer than 8 inches than knee because this kind of dresses and skirts has a form of a bell that is very useful for the the right energy distribution. A woman has got energy from the Earth and aq long skirt helps a woman in this problem. Pshychologists, and I am one of them, consider that women who prefer long skirts and hairs are more happier in the life than another women. It’s statistics. Finishing this post I would like to wish Lucille many years of fruitful work with our Community asnd post op women who flow to one complete unit with cisgender women. And I am open to have a friendship with girls here. Find me in PinkEssence. My name is the same.
I found this article really refreshing…rules can be useful guidelines but can enslave. I’m transgender because I’m not following a rule … I don’t need another. We are all different and human. Thank you for the wakeup reminder.
Something casual around the house. I don’t go out all that often. Still working on my femme image.
